The repository is confusing me. What do I want there? There's so much to choose from!
Also, why hasn't anyone tested my potion? I don't have any characters to test with, and getting new ones properly arranged involves booting up the game multiple times (in other words, I'm lazy).

Is this the potion which only works for arcane and divine spellcasters?

I'm going to interpret that as "It does not work."
(because yes, yes it was)
However, I have no idea how to fix it.

Ahhh OK.
That gets rid of the trouble of having to repeat that section twice.
Interestingly, before looking at that, I had no idea potions decreased your max stats. I feel kinda dumb now, but that'll definitely make me drink them more sparingly -- and try not to need them as much, either.

I still don't like that fact. 
...which is why I always remove that part of their scripts. 
(I also remove the growing in size of my characters, actually.)

Yes, when increasing level.

You take all the fun out of it.
At least you're not being slain by random unicorns from Bones files!
And what's wrong with growing, exactly? It's not like it's that big a difference....

Lol. I stopped playing Nethack after I got killed by my own ghost, just so you know.

In my opinion it's annoying. Even more annoying than the potions. It just looks uberly stupid if some huge paladin uses a micro-sword and a micro-shield.

I'm still sore about the unicorn incident.
But did I quit?
NO! I swore REVENGE!
Not that the unicorn is still around; don't have that same thing of Nethack anymore, I don't think.
But still. Revenge on the game.
And they really don't get that big, do they?
Maybe weapons should get bigger depending on the user's size.

True. Never grown for me... I think. Or I just haven't noticed it...

The grow mechanism should be tuned properly in the latest version. A level 6 character is slightly bigger than level 1, but not out of proportions.
There is a limit to growing due level up now too.

OK, now I need help with Gungnir (I'm waiting on Finale, since I can't do percentage right now).
I want it thrown when you hold down the button. It'll do a lot more damage when you do this, like when you throw regular spears.
But instead of throwing when stacked, you throw it when you hold down the key.
I know it's possible, because the bomb uses it. But how?
